Tata Bolt – sporty and thrilling

Tata Polokwane launched the new Tata Bolt last Wednesday and also used the opportunity to hand over the keys to Polokwane’s first Tata Bolt owner from the local dealership, Mathews Maja.
A proud Maja immediately got behind the steering wheel sounding the horn and enjoying the moment.
The new Tata Bolt is sporty yet approachable, thrilling but safe and is ready to perform and eager to please with amazing standard features and technology. It is the perfect fusion of sporty design and thrilling performance. The new addition to the Tata family is designed to make heads turn and engineered to set the owner’s pulse racing.
Tata took extra considerations for convenience, including the height-adjustable driver’s seat, adjustable headrests, electric outside mirrors, front passenger vanity mirror, door open and key-in reminder, driver seatbelt reminder and auto door lock.
The exterior design is sleek and big headlights conveniently path the way to the rear of the hatchback and sedan where a classic invention meets the eye.
The Tata Bolt is equipped with a Revotron 1,2 litre turbo engine and delivers a powerful 66 kW of power at 5 000 rpm and 140 Nm of torque between 1 500 and 4 000 rpm. The five-speed manual gearbox works well with the engine and with 44 litre capacity fuel tank and excellent fuel consumption, the Tata Bolt will take you a long way hassle free.
The hatchback offers 210 litres of boot space while the sedan has an extra 150 litres to spare.
The Bolt also features a ground clearance of 165 mm on the hatchback and 175 mm on the sedan which ensures a comfortable drive on gravel roads.
The Tata Bolt is sure to make its mark in the entry level market with pricing ranging from R132 995 to R152 995 and class leading technology.
The real differentiator that makes the Tata Bolt stand out from the crowd is the ConnectNext experience, which features the 5 inch touchscreen, advanced voice command recognition, SMS notification and read outs and fully automatic temperature controls. Tata has worked closely with Harman International Industries to design and engineer an acoustic audio and infotainment system which allows the driver to stay connected.
Safety features on the Tata Bolt include dual front airbags, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) and Corner Stability Control (CSC).
